The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results for candidates who took part in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, 2024.
This supplementary exam was organized for 28,835 candidates who could not be biometrically verified during the main 2024 UTME and were thus unable to sit for the exam.
JAMB Spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, stated on Friday that another group of candidates included those suspected of engaging in examination malpractices during the main UTME but were given a second opportunity to take the exam.
He mentioned that the exercise, which was successfully conducted nationwide, involved heightened security measures by the Board to prevent any examination misconduct.
“As such, some nefarious characters, who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution,” he said.
The Board, he said, would continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during, and after the examinations.
“Candidates are, therefore, urged in their own interest to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularities during their examinations. They are also enjoined to desist from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or engaging in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.”
To check their supplementary UTME results, candidates should send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number they used to generate their profile codes at the start of registration.
